Something Funny About Fed Racket! :)

so i was looking online of Roger Federer pictures of this year 2013 and i saw something interesting.

As you see Rogers Racket is completely different from the TW american version you see online It more similar to the Europe TW version if u check online!. The paint the same but design is different with the wilson on both sides in the middle, ninety name, on the gold side of the throat had pro staff 90. MAYBE it has a different in weight.
Also he been using the Europe this whole year so far.Even in the BNP Paribas open

BUT!!!!!!​

Then i saw this photo of 2012!

You see him using the US TW version.

SO! does federer switch between the american and europe version? is there a differences in weight? just interesting to me

all it is, is wilson rebranding their frames. They want to separate these from the six one line thats why these are known as the pro staff 90, 95 and 100L now. just like you will see slight differences in the blade 104. older painjobs have it as BLX blade 101 newer ones have it as BLX Blade 104L same with the Juice 100 is now Juice 100L. as for the prostaff line i believe dropping hte six one is long overdue consider these frames were built off the 6.0 platform and not the 6.1

I still don't know why the older generations of Tour 90 were called "6.1/Six.One" when they were all clearly descendants of the Pro Staff 6.0 line.

And you guys are right: I never understood why Wilson started labeling this as 6.1. This was never the same line as the 6.1 classic. Didn't the 6.0/6.1 numbers correlate to Wilson's stiffness rating? My memory fails me here...

No, they were not stiffness ratings. They were "Swing Index" ratings. That's why on some versions of the PS 6.0 85, it says "ProStaff 6.0si". "si" = swing index.
